Abstract

Research on the impact, effectiveness, and usefulness of learning objects is scarce, particularly in secondary education. The goal of this study was twofold. First, we examined the impact of the extent to which visual representations are presented in learning objects on learning outcomes. Simultaneously, we studied the impact of an individual versus a collaborative setting on learning outcomes. The study took place in a biology course, 511 secondary school students were involved.
